Here in Texas we call that "baffling them with bullshit"
We have the same expression here in Far West Texas (ie California). Just give us pictures of the absolutely sure, dead-bang positive artifacts! :D

Here in the UK it's 'Taurus excretia intelligencia perplexit,' which is reputed to translate into 'Bull shit baffles brains.'
Just thought you might like to know.

understandable if you're not familar with the more scarce of pieces but myself would call it knowledge, but i understand where you're coming from so i will refrain from talking it & just show the pics :) & im sorry if i came across as arrogant, wasn't my intention....a correct date for this Axe would be good if any1 knows, i suspect Acheulian but not sure.

I only just noticed this Flintoff - with all those gaming pieces etc sure looks like there is some interesting activity where you are looking. Is there any official interest?
